Engagement Shoot at Hazelwood Castle

Jade and Shaun’s engagement shoot at Hazelwood Castle near Tadcaster, Yorkshire.

Nestled in between York and Leeds; Hazelwood Castle Hotel and Spa is set within 77 acres of stunning woodland. The Castle is close to the A1 and the A64 yet feels immediately distant the moment you get there.

The King and Queen of the Castle!

Jade and Shaun took the wise idea to stay here for a night to celebrate their anniversary and also enjoy what the castle can offer whilst having a photoshoot at the venue they have chosen to have their wedding at in the spring of 2026.

This is a lovely spot for a nice day out with peacocks roaming the beautiful grounds and activities to do within the secret woods. There are all sorts of food options as well to check out. I would strongly recommend having a look at their website https://hazlewood-castle.co.uk/

These engagement shoots can be booked as a separate event or as an addition to your wedding day. They are a great way for all of us to get to know each other and for you both to get relaxed in front of the camera before your big day. We can discuss where they can be done, I can do them at your booked venue, near it or in a local spot that we can agree upon.
